If you haven’t heard about the cease and desist letter that Google sent to famed Android OS modder Cyanogen, I suggest you read up before continuing this post. Google has posted a “response” of sorts, hoping to clear the air of their good name in light of “misconceptions” amidst the criticism. Here is an excerpt of that response, posted by Dan Morrill on the Android Developers Blog.

Sounds like the most that will happen is that Cyanogen will have to take the Google Apps out of the release. Google seems to be fine with the fact that there are MODs and ROMs. So Cyanogen should have no problem continuing to be a great ROM. There are many other great features we get, besides rooting of course.
